C56 Many Students Did Not Even Go to Class and Came to Watch

Zhang Xing was invigorated after discovering the Fire Lizard's vulnerability. Every creature, be it human or Demonic Beast, had a weakness. The top five combatants probably knew about this Achilles' heel of the Fire Lizard but kept it to themselves. Otherwise, Kai Erduo would have shared the secret with him long ago. Now, the remaining Fire Lizards were as good as dead.

Zhang Xing faced no further hindrances, employing his Earth Quaking Mountain Shaking technique along with his Ice Spear. The indicator outside the tower now showed the twenty-second floor.

"Impossible!" exclaimed the short student standing next to Kai Erduo, his voice filled with disbelief. Zhang Xing had matched Teddy's previous record. If he could hold on a bit longer, he might surpass him.

Kai Erduo was fixated on the display, his excitement palpable. At this moment, no one could be happier than him. Zhang Xing's win was as good as his own. He had not only crushed the morale of Teddy and his cohort but was also on the brink of winning a hundred thousand gold coins. He hadn't been the one to fight, but the thrill was all his.

He had been tormented by these people since childhood, a grudge that could warp a child's personality, even leading to a pervasive hatred. He might end his days in silence or erupt in a quiet rage, either way, a tragic end. But Zhang Xing's emergence had sparked hope in him. At just six years old, Zhang Xing was formidable. He would surely be the instrument of his revenge, which is why he had unhesitatingly aligned himself with the young prodigy.

Great Magic Instructor Pigu watched with a special gleam in his eye. It was clear why the President held the boy in such high regard. To possess such deep mental energy and magical power at such a tender age was impressive indeed.

Pigu, stroking his beard and nodding in approval, suddenly widened his eyes in surprise. The twenty-third floor! Zhang Xing had outdone Teddy and secured a spot in the top seven. Remarkable! At just six years old, to rank seventh in the entire School of Magic, he was truly a prodigy.

However, that was as far as he could go.

Advancing any further seemed nearly impossible for him!

Teddy's noble friends grimaced, their faces contorted in displeasure as they watched the numbers on the display with clenched teeth.

It felt like a direct affront to their honor!

Throughout the academy, students viewed this contest as a clash between the impoverished and the elite.

Unless something unforeseen occurred, the aristocrats were on the brink of defeat at the hands of the underprivileged.

The loss of 100,000 gold coins was of little concern to them—they weren't footing the bill, after all.

To Teddy's family, such a sum was trivial.

Word quickly spread throughout the Devil Martial Academy that Zhang Xing had triumphantly reached the twenty-third floor.

Eager students from the Martial Dao College flocked to witness the event, buzzing with excitement.

Crowds swelled around the Skysplit Tower, prompting several instructors to step in to keep things orderly.

The arrival of Solina and Tina, the esteemed and beautiful tutors, only added to the frenzy.

Male instructors, cutting their classes short, rushed to lend their support to the two women.

Though the onlookers couldn't see the action inside, they were no less thrilled, their eyes glued to the ascending numbers.

By this time, Teddy had barely made it to the nineteenth floor, but he was no longer the center of attention; all the buzz was about Zhang Xing.

"Solina, your student is truly a source of pride!" Tina remarked, her smile serene.

She then gave Solina's sleeve a gentle tug. "Stop smiling for a moment—those male instructors can't take their eyes off you!"
